Clap your eyes on these ride-in Daleks. Makes us wish we were four years old again. They’re made by Zappies, and they are blow up, with battery powered motors and dinky little steering wheels so you can actually drive around in one, although bursting accidents may occur should mums/dads/teenage cousins/grandma attempts to climb in and have a go too. Cick through for the full video!

A Doctor Who fan from Birtley in Gateshead has built a full-size, functioning Dalek from wood, scrap and an electric wheelchair. We’re just glad we live on the second floor.

Rob Bosher built his full-size Dalek for around £700. At its heart there’s an electric wheelchair with a joystick to control is wheels and a voice modulator to create the classic Dalek bark.

Bosher’s Dalek also has working lights and a moving eye made from a magic eight ball. Bosher who built the Dalek’s shell with scrap wood by hand claims he’s “never been much of a DIY man”. That’s impressive work from someone who doesn’t do DIY.

The Dalek has already taken part in a Children In Need and Bosher hopes to take his homemade baddie to other charity events to help raise money. It certainly puts our attempts at putting together an IKEA bookshelf to shame.

With the look of a futuristic bouncer about him the red jacketed robot patrols University corridors in a New Zealand by night and during the day lets the students take him to bits to assist in their engineering studies.

Have you ever wondered what the Timelords’ mightiest foes get up to when they aren’t sharing notes on the latest stair scaling studies? Then you’ll certainly have enough time on your hands to catch up with the first installment of “The Dalek Diary”

Dr Who fans, and those with easily-scared children, rejoice! Character just released the world’s first Dalek voice-changing helmet. It’s absurd, hilarious and just itching to be used in childish (or adult) mischief making. Slip it over your noggin and you two can utter “EXTERMINATE” in a menacing manner. It won’t, however, stop you from climbing stairs.Out now | £40Character (via Toyology)
